Corn gritz for breweries
Lacadée Agro Industrie provides professionals from the brewery with corn gritz for malting applications. Used as a complement to malt, it provides brewers with a raw material derived from the mechanical splitting of corn grain and followed from its collection to its processing in our maize plant.
A corn gritz suitable for brewing applications
Our corn gritz is characterized by:
- One high starch content,
- One fat content less than 1 %
- One fermentable extract exceeding 90 %
These characteristics explain its use by brewers in addition to malt in order to promote fermentation.
Beyond this function, the gritz we provide you also contributes to the smooth running of the brewing process, to the smoothness and shine of the beer color.
If you want to incorporate corn into your formulation, then you are in the right place! With Lacadée you are sure to have a raw material whose main characteristics are followed throughout the production.
From maize collection to gritz: a controlled sector
The regularity of a gritz begins even before its arrival in the maize factory. In our maize factory, we directly carry out several stages of the industry:
- Collection,
- Drying,
- Storage
- Corn processing
Our maize plant was built directly near the drying and storage silos, in the heart of our production pool.
Once harvested, the collected lots are taken care of and dried within 48 hours. Drying is done slowly and at low temperature before mechanical processing of the grain into various products, including gritz. This organization allows us to monitor the raw material at each stage and to control its health quality and traceability more widely.
For an industrialist in the brewery, this mastery gives above all a better visibility on the origin of the product, its processing process and its pre-shipment monitoring.
Regular checks on product characteristics
Our maize plant has its own internal laboratory. Controls are carried out throughout production. We carry out controls on:
- Moisture,
- Fat
- The particle size
- Mycotoxins using ELISA tests
This monitoring ensures that the essential characteristics of the manufactured products are checked and that industrial customers are supported in meeting their quality requirements.
Your gritz supplier listening to specifications
Needs may vary from one industrial to another. We therefore work in a B2B relationship logic, with attention to specifications, the characteristics sought and the changing needs of its customers.
This accompaniment is based on a long experience of the maize industry: a family-owned company founded in 1936, Lacadée developed its first processing activity with the construction of its maize plant in 1999.
Today, more than half of the company's products are exported, notably to Europe and several international markets.
The goal is not only to provide you with gritz, but to build a lasting relationship.
